Virgin River supports fragile flora and fauna as it meanders below massive, cathedrallike, sandstone walls soaring several thousand feet into the sky. With its soaring cliffs and cascading waterfalls, Zion National Park is one of the Southwest's most beautiful and dynamic places. There is a variety of trails to choose from and you will have plenty of opportunities to explore. Warm up with a gentle walk to Lower Emerald pool and then continue on to the sparkling Upper Emerald pools, passing a waterfall along the way to discover Zion's "beach." If you are feeling ambitious, enjoy the park's most famous challenge, Angel's Landing, and after a beautiful but strenuous hike along the knife-edge ridgeline, you will be rewarded with one of the most breathtaking, powerful panoramas you will ever experience. "Mysterious", "breathtaking", "out of this world", are only a few of the descriptions offered by past visitors to Bryce Canyon National Park. For close up views, we allow plenty of time to take advantage of the park's incredible system of trails, ranging from the easy Rim Trail to the moderate Queen's Garden Trail to the strenuous Peek-a-boo Loop. Wherever you walk, you will encounter a kaleidoscope of colours and a fantasyland of rock spires that will leave you searching for your own way to describe this 'indescribable' place.
